not have a negative view of tesla, the electric car company. they sold more cars than all the oh-so-clever analysts expected, and tesla is expanding with a backlog of orders, and look at this, the stock up big, 10-12% of the opening bell. it's not the only stock up. a higher open in a couple minutes, but firsts though, there's this. three winning powerball tickets sold, two in new jersey, one in minnesota. they will split a $448 million jackpot, no identity on the winners yet, but one thing's for sure. they all pay a huge chunk of the prize up front in tax. more on that later in the hourment i'm going to call government lotteries a lousy deal. she knows you like no one else.

executive, and they have growing momentum, really, surprising everyone. the second in a quarter -- wow, they are loud down here. meeting and beating for the second quarter in a row. >> all right, thanks, nicole. dow up nearly 60 -- it is up 60 points in the first two minutes worth of business, up this thursday morning. let's get back to google. their share of the smart phone market, of course, growing, up more than 10 points in the last year, the iphone's market shrinking three points from a year ago. foxnews.com science and technology editor is joining the company right now. jeremy, looks to me like the android system from google, 80% market share? just running with it. >> as no , ma'am call, suspect it? 80%. we think about the iphone as the thing to get. >> yeah. >> at least everyone was thinking that. >> that's right. >> two or three years ago. you know, the guys inside apple, the financial eggheads have to

be going crazy. on paper, it's doing well. numbers here, i was looking at this, apped made, robertedly, $6 billion in smart phones last quarter and profit about 33% on those things. >> wait a second. >> incredible. >> $6 billion just from iphones, profit in a three-month period? this is apple? >> right? isn't that -- >> in the market share? >> exactly. samsung, making the most popular -- got it here, the most popular android smart phones, s4 #, they made 5.6 billion, but only 17% in profits on that. either way, though, it looks like apple's making a whrot of money, but we're going, what's going on with apple because, really, market share down, nobodiments -- nobody wants is these days. what's going on over there? >> google is going to come out with the hardware, a phone, using their own android system. i have it here. >> it's the nexus 4.

for no reason. they are fun. it's going to change the game. this is the new world. >> you can't drive a car with google glass, wearing them, will you? surely not? >> it's dicey. we had a reporter that did that for fox news awhile back, and she said it was weird, felt unsafe, and took them off. >> yeah -- >> however, it is one of the things that google wants you to be able to do with these things, it does navigation, just hone the software, maybe we will someday. >> bring me back google glass, and i'll wear them again. >> round two. >> it was good. jeremy, thank you very much indeed. see you soon. back to the economy. i say ben won't even slow down the printing presses. i also say that the next fed chief will be janet yellen, no way she's stopping printing in the foreseeable future. bringing in david jones, very right on the fed in recent years arks am i right or right, david jones? >> caller: wrong, stuart.

nice to be with you again. it's going to be larry summer, and they will start tapering at the next meeting in september. >> okay. i got limited time. why larry summers over a female academic leftist from berkley? >> caller: one simple point, stuart. the president feels much more close and confident and the administration. take jack lew, treasury secretary, perfect example. when the president's confident in somebody, that's the choice. janet has all qualifications, but i think she's been remote from the president. >> okay. well, you're disputing me again, david jones, and it could be that you're right again. we'll see. come on back soon, and we'll check out your predictions. thank you very much, david jones. to the big board. let me tell you, this is a rally. up 85 points, 15556 as we speak.

president obama scaling down government housing agencies, banks lend more, but, clearly, that means the president has to tell the banks who to lend to, whether they are qualified or not. sounds like social engineering to me. rapid realitity on the company thinking this is a great plan. what? >> it's fantastic. the 30-year fixed is prudent and important -- >> the president wants to keep the 30-year fix, got that, in favor of it, you know, good morning, sure. go. >> as they say, plan b is your plan a, there shouldn't be a backup plan for the banks, but figure it out and take the risk and add a cost to that. >> but what got us into trouble was banks shoe horning people into homes they could not afford and into loans which they could not repay. this is a repeat performance. >> i don't think so.

i think the fact there's not a backup plan makes them more careful and cautious and more rules and regulations in place to keep them under control. >> no, wait a second. there is a backup plan, the taxpayer is the backup plan. taxpayers are still on the hook if there's another financial crisis or a crash. >> not as much as before. scaling down. this is a five-year wind down plan. it takes five years if enacted. >> you don't have a problem getting people into homes they cannot afford? >> obama says it's great to achieve the american dream and own a home, but if you can't afford it, don't do it, and the banks will not take the risk now know -- >> he's doing it with the fha saying if you're foreclosed on or bankruptcy, you can get a new mortgage loan now, don't wait three years. get a new loan. all you have to do is have a job, attend credit counseling. that, anthony, is shoe-horning people into loans they cannot

afford for political, social reason. >> well, i think this is a country of giving people second chances. if you make a whole-hearted effort to restore credit and get back into the community in good standards. you deserve another chance. >> selling real estate, playing your own book, aren't you? >> it's important to get people to become good citizens and home ownership leads it to that path. >> we tried that. >> yeah, we did. i think that without them backed up, things will be better. >> we'll see, anthony. we'll see. surprised at your position, but you're a realtor. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. mattday -- matt damon's knew movie hits theaters. according to some, it's a message of socialism. that's not me, somebody else says that. talking to a critic who saw it next. ♪

for a career failure, and he replaced willis not film with harrison ford. critics call the movie "lithium" political propaganda, but the film's star begs to differ. keel my jane calls that laughable. she's with us. you saw the movie, i think last night; correct? >> that's right. >> give me 30 seconds on what is the plot? what's the movie about? >> it's set in the future, it's 2154 in los angeles, the haves and have-notes separated. the notes are on earth in a polluted waste land and the haves on on a beautiful space station in the sky where everything is green and beautiful. matt damon -- >> that sounds simplistic to me. i mean, haves and have-nots separated planetary wise. that does not sound

sophisticated at all. >> to me, imagine this, imagine if there was a hundred million dollars and a taste for big, big guns, that's what you got with this movie. >> a hundred million dollar movie? >> about a 90 million flick. the plot is matt damon, one of the have-nots, exposed to radiation at work, and only way to survive is to get to the other planet because they have, you know, things you put yourself in there, and you are healed of everything from cancer to a broken leg. >> sounds like matt takes on obamacare. i don't know. it has been criticized as pure socialism. they are out there in force, not just the people on the right saying this. it is a lot of people say it's political propaganda, socialism. tell me the socialistic angle in this if you saw it. >> well, i did. i saw it last night at the

critic's screening, opening tomorrow nationwide, but the movie seems to say all we have to do is turn all the illegal immigrants into legal citizens, and weal solve the health care crisis and live forever. not joking. >> i know. if you are surrounded by critics, most on the leaf, what's their reaction? >> that's interesting. a lot of them liked it, and it's -- it's sad, but i think, you know, when a movie plays to your prejudices, you don't notice that there's no sinmatic, you know, quality to it at all. i mean, it's a very poorly made movie, but, you know, this morning, before coming here, i took a look at the critics who got their written reviews postedded thinking it's, you know, taking on the big issues of day. well, it does, it takes on health care, immigration, the things we are talking about right now, but it does so in the most, as you say, simplistic manner possible. i mean, it -- >> as a movie, back to that, as a movie, would you say how is --

is did well made? is it well agented? does the script work? is there good character development? does the plot flow nicely? just as a movie, you can want like it? >> no. first of all, there's no character development. you got everybody on the, you know, this is a terrible person, and joy di foster, i'm a fan, but she had a terrible performance. her character is one-dimensional. nobody has a personality with the slight exception of matt damon, but he can't save the film. you know, it's just the same sort of science fiction, you know, you got to have the slow motion a number of times when somebody shoots somebody else, and, you know, it's just not very well done, and i'm really surprised that the film got good reviews, and the only reason is that it's catering to what the critics want to hear, which is that, you know, our problems here now are solvable if we just, you know, i mean, if only real life were as simple as a science fiction film; right? >> if we pay more tax and spend

government money. didn't you know that? conow that. >> i didn't get the memo. that's the great thing. literally, they think if you change people status and give them things, there's no understanding of how did they get developed the technology, what were incentives in place. you know, i mean, i'm expecting a hollywood director to understand, you know, basic economics. that's my problem, i guess. >> dream on. dream op. >> exactly. >> thanks very much for seeing this movie, sitting through it, and giving us the great critique. >> only for you. >> okay. works for me. thank you very much, appreciate it. >> thanks. >> didn't win powerballast night? well, before you buy the next ticket, hear what i got to say about it. my take on government lot toes next. ♪

14% up on tesla, stock of the day, 7 million shares traded. wow. president obama's foreign policy agenda, some say it's falling apart pulling out with the meeting with the russian president, and former ambassador is here at ten this morning. if you think flying in a private jet is too expensive. guess again. it's cheaper giving commercial carriers a run for the money. 10:25, we'll tell you how much cheaper. you heard the stereotypes, women are poor drivers, men are serial cheaters. not the case according to john stossel here at 10:45. here's my take on the lottery. it is a lousy deal. occasionally, the powerball jackpot hits hundreds of millions of dollars in prizes, and we make a fuss about the huge price and who won. it's an exciting headline, instant wealth, great headline, human interest, it is great.

now you can call me captain no fun if you like, but i repeat, government funded lotteries are a lousy deal. i'll explain my grumpy killjoy point of view. for every dollar you put in, only 50 cents is paid out in prizes, most of the rest is a tax that goes to the government. oh, what a deal. a 50% tax rate right off the top, lucky you. if you win the big prize and elect a lump sum payment, you pay a ton of tax all over again, at least 40% to the fed's alone. no wonder the government spends big on lotteritying. it's a cash cow for them. notice i said "government lotteries are a lousy deal," did back to the good old days of a privately run lottery, illegal. it was called playing the number, and it was organized by the mob. runners went all over the big cities, and you placed bets on three numbers, one through ten.

the winning numbers were the last three digits in the dow industrial average the -- at the close of trading every day. nobody fixed the numbers, and nobody could see what they were. the runners paid the winners 80 # cents on the dollars. no tax. you were paid in cash. now, that's a deal. i'll leave it at that. sleeping apart. things should never come to this.

when they accompanied a a company. masters of the universe run billions of dollars and they could be wrong for weeks, months, years, there could be billions more. a lot of short positions will state short. regular people who jump on the bandwagon said the test was phony and they got it pretty good today. don: i can see tesla going up and up and up. is an electric car company the only sold 5,000 vehicles. charles: more technology company that our electric car company. a good company and have been oversold stocks just like a bad company. you are right. at some point of this stops but at right now anyone betting against it and they have been betting against it for a year and have gotten completely crushed. here's what i always get when channel flipping, people so surprised. they think last quarter, the march quarter by 200%, you can

be surprised at the reaction of the fact is there because i cannot surprise. don: they alisha stuart: expectations are way of rigging the market. charles: the built-in a little bit of a cushion and analyst its guidance and come of with their number and have a bit of a cushion because nobody wants to be wrong on the other side. of the company beats me as an analyst, fine but if i overestimate i look back. stuart: i confess you to tell me who is the winner. >> i trust you and charles. group on is up 26%. look at the stock hitting a new high of $11.15 a passing what all the analysts were thinking, the analysts you love so much, talking about the ability of the business overall, that is what one of the analysts were saying, consecutive quarters doing well, good news as well. the of not seen the business

what is your reaction? >> the key to pulling is freezing questions where you get an unbiased and search of the question you opposing. if you are going to tell me to you think x, y, z is true idle time would is true. you ask the question in an unbiased manner you get my different and the. don: -- stuart: using the president's policies of the last four years our success in creating prosperity in america? >> it is gone as out of a whole believe you may think the stimulus was not successful. at into preventive things getting a lot worse. i see -- stuart: lower class people lost 5% of purchasing power. >> and implement has gone down, jobs are being created, not at a pace that we want but they are being created. the stock market is going up and up. what i don't like is tremendous income inequality, and this has been going on with this president and previous presidents including ronald

reagan and george bush, but i do see things progressing. not going as well as we want but they're getting better. stuart: spare me from this kind of progress. charles sent this headline to our production team last night. it came from cnn, the once and future clinton news network. get ready to shell out more money for individual health insurance under obamacare. >> in new york arrival of 50% of premiums. stuart: i can to let you get away with that. i read the same report, premiums for individual buyers of health care in new york state will see reduction. the know how many people applies to? 16,000. >> so glad to hear you saying that, you are telling me obamacare, the individual mandate will not apply to some many people. you can't have it both ways.

>> the and not walking away from obamacare. the same delusion you'll keep capitulating. stuart: a president said he will not lose your coverage. if you like you not lose it. >> e.u. losing that? but the co people had and like their losing. >> which people? stuart: low income people are losing coverage. a lot of people who get their health insurance by corporations will not get the same coverage. more businesses. >> could i explain this to you? stuart: into the question. >> i entering the question. can i explain it? >> before obamacare if you had cancer or another horrible disease -- you're getting coverage.

stuart: if you work in a small business you are not keeping the coverage -- >> i am working in a small business. stuart: am talking about across the country. everyone who works for me will keep their coverage. stuart: cost is going up. >> it is going anyway. stuart: are you telling me -- you can keep your health coverage that you like? it is the same price? >> january of 2014 not come back on your show wind is going to affect you tell me if you lost your coverage. stuart: i'm talking the country as a whole. stuart: not something else is happening. stuart: obamacare is not aimed at someone who works for a large multinational corporation. we're talking it is doing more harm than helping them. >> absolutely wrong. stuart: charles: everyone rejected it.

it is wildly unpopular. >> the president has done a horrific job selling it, or if a job selling then. the unions have not rejected it, the unions rejected a small component of seniors who are getting the care. it is not being cut. these are on the talking points. charles: -- stuart: we will have you back and have a set of facts and discuss those. we will have concrete response facts. >> under obamacare -- stuart: i understand what you are saying. the issue is health care in the future will not be as promised by president obama and that is a affect. let's end the discussion. i have got to move. dow jones industrial average losing ground up 25 points. it was up 85 earlier.

i think that just winked at julie on camera. we still friends. stuart: to the always get the last word. stick around for john stossel. >> i would love to. a really terrible driver. stuart: another big name you know, disappointing sales at green mountain. nicole petallides. what is it doing. nicole: a mr analyst estimates, their numbers missed. the actual machine and its success stories miss the sales estimate. i don't know if everybody already has one or just the market is so diluted but you see the stock down 2% but ultimately this area of single serve cups and coffee and all that continues to grow and raise raise their outlook. it is not all bad news but they did miss with the current

quarter. stuart: thank you. president's foreign policy. a lot of people say it is falling apart. latest example would be the president canceling the meeting with vladimir putin because of tensions over the decision by the russians to keep and grant ed snowden asylum. john bolton is here. can you point to a single foreign policy success of the obama administration the last four years other than killing usama bin laden? >> i don't count that as an obama administration foreign policy success. that was begun after the 9/11 attacks, like richard nixon claiming credit for armstrong and aldrin landed on the moon in summer of 1969 as if he started the space program rather than john kennedy. a ten year record in those cases. stopped clocks are right flight to the. i am sure there is a obama success or two out there but not because of his policies. he has a fundamentally flawed world view about the role of the

united states, security we provide and friends and allies and how to handle adversaries and terrorists. we are seeing the flaws of that world view in recent weeks. >> do you think that hurts us? america's standing in the world is down, respect for america down, respect for our ideas down, does that come back to hurt us not so much physically but in the financial sense? >> it does. if people see america as less strong, less capable, less willing to defend its interests they will we calibrate their policies accordingly, our adversaries will be more aggressive and friends will say to themselves if we can't count on the united states we will look after number one and make accommodations with the enemy. charles: would use a what is going on in syria could be what you talking about because it seems the russian/iran -- they are more involved in who wins

that than we are. hard to understand that, the fact of the matter is the bad guy looks like a ongoing to win in part because nobody expects america to come to their aid anymore. >> we fundamentally misunderstood the conflict. for two use the obama administration has been saying we will negotiate with the russians to get a smooth transition to get him out. they were never going to negotiate to see him leave. polk obama policy has been a misconception. number 2, the real problem in syria is eerie and because they're determined to keep him in power and show -- said a lot of cerium blood to do and obama never wanted to take daughter and. charles: we left iraq and afghanistan, violence in iraq is through the roof, that is underreported. what happened to the arabs spring? we thought it would usher in democracy, look what we have lost the middle east. >> there are a lot of causes the

one is a declining, reseeding less assertive united states and this goes to the point that is fundamental to obama's misconception, ec's a strong america as being part of a problem, we are too much in the world and cause too much reaction so weaker, less assertive america will lead to a more peaceful world. i think is exactly the opposite. i think it is not american strength that is provocative but american weakness and that is what we see now. stuart: will not change his world view. >> we have 1200 more days of this. will be more dangerous when he leaves office. stuart: ambassador john bolton, thank you very much. the dow is barely up. in fact it is absolutely dead flat, now it is down. we lost 85 points. did you do that? charles: i don't know. we found three days in a row. not sure last time we had four days in a row but the summer doldrums are here. stuart: most people say in america if they do not want to

[ male announcer ] one pill each morning 24 hours. zero heartburn. stuart: 100 point turn, down twenty-eight, look at as much, up 15%. let's get to sports. a pre-season football game drew more viewers than major league baseball all-star game. next guest has the reason why

baseball lost more credibility following steve phillips, welcome back. this trend of losing popularity and credibility was in place before but now steroids makes it much worse. charles: the stars have tested positive, barry bonds, roger clemens, the best players in baseball tested positive or are linked to steroids. alex rodriguez who many thought would be the best wherever linked to steroids and that is the issue, the credibility is shot, the best testing system, strongest and most disciplined of any professional sport the time there is any should people be up on baseball. stuart: does management of the fall, the authorities in baseball do they truly wanted out, gone, finished? >> absolutely. it has been there way forever. is not about bud selig and the commission is, they want a clean, level playing field, the unions corps ever fought

drug-testing and finally got in place and the unions come along and players are throwing other players under the bus, they wanted as well. prayers a guys who test positive get what they deserve and should be punished. stuart: you are general manager from 97 until 2003, that was the height -- not the height but part of the steroids stuart: didn't you know? >> no question. yet i thought during last six years as general manager eddie four, five, six players used steroids and i could never understand why guys would never scream and yell like big burly guys to look bloated and looked like they were on steroids, why not scream and yell about it? everything we know now, probably more than half the players were cheating. wasn't as silent majority that an. majority of guys were cheating. now players want a clean, level playing field, players are speaking. charles: some ways it feels management is completed. some guy goes when you're of 20 homers and another year of 50

homers and gets an amazing contract, right and wrong, dark cloud over his said so milwaukee gives him a new contract four years early and feels like you lose three million now but next year and one hundred million dollar contract. >> they want to clean it up, commissioner and owners and general managers want a clean level playing field where no one uses steroids. point dale one of is the general manager of went to a level playing field, a wanted a clean but if other teams -- charles: lance armstrong with at a level playing field means the to stake steroids. >> players are speaking about it because they don't want to feel the pressures as they have to cheat to compete. that has changed. when players didn't complain was because they were all eating. now the majority aren't peaking which is why they're speaking. stuart: let's compare baseball to football. as i understand it there are more steroids cheaters in football than in baseball. is that true? >> yes. every year we have more positive tests for football, they get

suspended for four games yet football gets a pass. part of it is because cars tested positive in baseball and part of it is because staff members were somewhat romanticized by fans and not -- those got blown out so people were angry and baseball is much superior, we have h g h testing in baseball, football gets a free pass, drug testing and steroids, their credibility -- stuart: baseball doesn't test for human growth hess -- >> they don't have an approval -- stuart: not like the olympics where everything is tested. it is not like that in american sports a baseball yet. >> football is not there yet. is the most progressive testing and the commissioner was the most aggressive going after the biogenesis players

unprecedented, spending millions of dollars to get the evidence, get the witnesses to testify, they want the game cleaned up. they desperately want this clean, bud selig has done a tremendous job. stuart: do you think baseball again could be, america's past time? charles: i think it could but football has so much momentum and it will be tough. the problem is can clean guys hit 70 homers the year and create the sort of excitement every night. >> baseball has a crop of great young talent, divers guys that could impact the game, baseball needs to market those guys and make it about them. actually say here's a picture of roger clemens, barry bonds, that is the old baseball, here is the new baseball, gray young stars are who we are going to build around and if they live like the

right way and repair and play again in the right way. stuart: when it tv contracts come up with renewal for major league baseball i think baseball will get a shock because the viewers are not there. this is your point earlier. charles: i've played hardball with these guys. stuart: not going to pay for lower ratings. >> maybe a different deal this time around. stuart: former general manager of the mets of new york, amazing. >> thanks. stuart: thanks for joining us. appreciate it. here is the first line of eye and seeing, women can't drive. not a good rating. men are serial cheaters, that is another one. cheat twice as much as women, stereotypical. john stossel will tackle that next. ♪

stuart: here is something causing outrage. congress and their staffers get a pass on a major provision of obamacare. they will still get federal contributions toward their health plans. nancy pelosi, former speaker, basically past obamacare couldn't be happier for her staffers saying if they didn't get the exemption they would lose all their workers, the public sector, to the private sector. this is the case of you are not keeping the policy that you had before and that you liked before so the government says you can keep it so you don't leave government service. this is ridiculous. charles: a lot of narrative's falling through this. president obama has done this

too saying listen, don't go to the private sector, work for government which by the way in the long run is not always such a great economic sacrifice. of brilliant lawyer, bill clinton, forsaking the private sector and went into government and now he is worth $200 million. corey booker will go to the senate, didn't go into the private sector. by the time he is 65 he will be breath $50 million. president obama the community organizer probably will make $100 million his first year out of office. let's bump that particular myth right now. the second thing is if there is such a great thing, if congress is going to cook up the stuff they should be the first to eat it. they want wall street to meet the mortgages they see the policies they create. stuart: we had a heated discussion with the julia earlier and left a lot of our viewers and thus somewhat unsatisfied because we were talking across each other, arguing, debating across each other, not getting to the nitty

gritty, my point is the president said if you like your policy you keep it. if you like your doctor you keep it. i don't think that is true for a lot of people in america. stuart: charles: i love the conversation instead of debate because the talking points are so lame at this point. we started that segment talking about a headline from cnn which typically backs the democrats. when cn and starts to say this does not look good, when max baucus says this is a train wreck. when you have people who were behind the president of one hundred% back away a little bit that is a red flag. at least acknowledge it. that is all. stuart: we need to do something about it. we got to get a debate going on a program as opposed to a fiery back talk between -- charles: maybe lead the talking points at the door and have a nice conversation. stuart: on the studio door? good idea. more "varney and company" next. ñ
